Definitions

  • This invention is generally concerned with training a person to kick a ball (such as a soccer ball or the like) through repeated placement of the ball in a prescribed region.
  • a ball such as a soccer ball or the like
  • Ball kicking-training apparatus are well known.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,616,834 teaches a ball-kicking training apparatus having a pivot post extending vertically out of a base.
  • the pivot post rotatably supports an arm to which a ball to be kicked is attached.
  • the ball to be kicked is mounted to the arm in such a manner that the ball rolls as it passes over the surface (ground, floor, etc.) with which it is in contact.
  • U.S. Patent No. 6,475,108 B1 teaches a soccer kicking training device that includes a base with a stationary base connector, horizontal and vertical members, two ball holders, a height adjustment device, and a ball.
  • the base is supported in a horizontal plane through means of weighted material in the base.
  • the stationary base connector is attached to the base.
  • the vertical member and horizontal member slide freely inside the stationary base connector.
  • the device further comprises a top and side ball holder by means of which a ball can be mounted and/or attached to the device.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,435,572 teaches a ball kick-training device that is provided with a base having predesignated right and left support foot placement positions.
  • the ball is attached to a shock adsorbing mechanism.
  • the support foot placements are located in such a manner as to require the kicker to assume proper foot and body positions relative to the ball.
  • the ball is raised to allow the kicker to practice kicking the ball with the instep of the foot.
  • the shock absorbing mechanism absorbs the force of the kick and returns the ball to its initial position relative to the support foot placements so the practice process may be rapidly and consistently repeated.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,720,095 teaches a soccer training and practice device comprising a ball-like target mounted to an anchor member for engaging with the ground.
  • the anchor member is in effect a helical coil that can be screwed into the ground.
  • the ball-like target is mounted to the anchor member so that, when the anchor member is properly affixed to the ground, the ball will be in a position where it can be readily kicked.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,576,379 discloses an apparatus which enables an individual to practice the game of soccer by himself/herself without assistance from others.
  • the apparatus enables a person to kick a soccer ball and have the ball automatically returned for frequent re-kicks.
  • the ball upon the return kicks, the ball will be traveling at some speed that simulates the travel of a ball during a soccer game.
  • This invention also provides an apparatus which enables a person to hit the soccer ball with another part of his body, such as his head, and also have the ball automatically returned.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,037,113 teaches a soccer training device that includes a transportable pedestal and a soccer ball connected to the pedestal by a coil spring. The device is especially useful for practicing dribbling.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,561,661 teaches a soccer training device for use of both the head and the feet. It consists of three major parts, i.e., a base support structure, a fiberglass rod and a ball.
  • the base support structure is similar to parasol stands. It possesses a mechanism for continuous height adjustment of the ball and the fiberglass rod.
  • the rod is attached to the device by means of a swing element.
  • the ball is attached to a revolving bearing at the tip of the fiberglass rod.
  • the fiberglass rod and the swing element serve to store potential energy for the return flight of the ball.
  • the ball is set into motion by the head or the foot of a player, and swings back and forth in an arc section of circular radius.
  • GB-A-2423722 teaches a ball game training apparatus comprising a ball connected at one end of an arm whose other end includes securing means for securing the apparatus to a structure.
  • DE-A1-3305269 teaches a soccer training device comprising a ball mounted at one end of a rod and a stand around which the rod is rotatable.
  • the rod incorporates energy absorbing elements.
  • Applicant is of the opinion that improvements in ball kicking-training can be obtained by an apparatus that places the ball in a prescribed region - as opposed to a prescribed spot.
  • a ball kicking training apparatus comprising:
  • the ball kicking-training apparatus of this patent disclosure can be employed indoors as well as outdoors. It is especially useful in providing ball kicking training for young children desiring to perfect their ball kicking skills for the game of soccer.
  • This ball kicking training is enhanced by the fact that this apparatus brings the ball to a prescribed general region rather than to a prescribed spot. This circumstance gives the user training in "anticipating" the general location of the returned ball rather than having that location strictly defined by the mechanical operation of the apparatus.
  • this regional approach to placing the ball better simulates the circumstances that are usually encountered in the game of soccer.
  • Applicant's apparatus comprises a mounting base that supports a vertically mounted post.
  • the post (and a cavity in the base that holds said post) may be of any suitable cross sectional geometry, e.g., round, square, rectangular, etc. With all such geometries, however, the post should fit snuggly into the cavity in order to vertically orient said post.
  • the post contains a rotatably mounted axle whose top end is affixed to a socket.
  • the axle may, for example, be rotatable by virtue of the fact that it is mounted between a top roller bearing and a bottom roller bearing.
  • the socket houses a ball component such that said ball component is free to rotate at various angles in the socket in the manner of a ball and socket joint.
  • the ball component of the ball and socket joint is affixed to an arm whose other end is attached to the ball to be kicked as part of a kicking practice activity.
  • the arm is affixed to the ball component of the ball and socket joint by virtue of the fact that the arm passes through a hole in said ball component of the ball and socket joint.
  • the arm is compression fitted into the hole in the ball component of the ball and socket joint.
  • Glue also may be used to affix the arm to the ball component of the ball and socket joint.
  • the arm may extend through and project beyond the hole in the ball component of the ball and socket joint.
  • the inner end of the arm is threaded in order to receive a forward threaded nut and a rearward threaded nut.
  • the forward threaded nut is threaded on to the threaded inner end of the arm and subsequently threaded into abutment with a forward side of the ball and socket joint.
  • the rearward threaded nut is then threaded on to the threaded inner end of the arm. It is threaded into abutment with a rearward side of the ball and socket joint.
  • the inner end of the arm is affixed to the ball component of the ball and socket joint by virtue of being abutted between the forward threaded nut and the rearward threaded nut.
  • the socket component of the ball and socket joint is mounted on an axle that is rotatably mounted in the vertically mounted post. Consequently, when the user kicks the kicking ball laterally, the arm will rotate with the axle to which the arm is ultimately affixed by reason of its attachment to the ball and socket joint.
  • the ball to be kicked by the user of the apparatus is attached to the outer end of the arm.
  • Various methods for mounting a ball to an arm for the purpose of practicing kicking the ball are found in the prior art references previously noted in this patent disclosure and these references are incorporated herein by reference.
  • one particularly effective device for attaching the ball to be kicked by the user of the present apparatus is to provide the outer end of the arm with a flexible cup that is capable of being forced into a hole in the ball to be kicked such that the flexible cup serves as a "hook” that prevents the arm from being withdrawn from the hole in the ball to be kicked.
  • the cup and outer end of the ball to be kicked can also be coated with glue that, upon drying, further serves to affix the ball to be kicked to the outer end of the arm.
  • the outside surface of the kicking ball can also be provided with a second cup that is affixed to the kicking ball's exterior surface.
  • the cup and exterior surface of the kicking ball just under the cup can be supplied with glue that, upon drying, serves to further affix the second cup to the outside surface of the ball.
  • a counterweight arm can be used to deal with the fact that the ball to be kicked is attached to an arm that will normally be from about 91 to 122 cm (3 to 4 feet) in length.
  • the counterweight arm serves to balance the leverage created by the arm and ball.
  • the counterweight arm can be further provided with a fitting adapted to mounting a second ball to the counterweight arm.
  • a second ball will also serve as a counterweight to the ball mounted on the arm.
  • the length of the counterweight arm can be less than the length of the arm that supports the ball to be kicked.
  • the second ball can be used with either embodiment of this invention.
  • the second ball can be the same size as of the ball to be kicked or it can be sized differently from the first ball.
  • the ball kicking-training apparatus 10 depicted in Figure 1 has a relatively heavy (e.g., weighing from about 0,45 kg (1 pound) to about 22,7 kg (50 pounds)) base 12 having a flat bottom 14.
  • the base 12 may be a solid or it may contain a hollow space (not shown) into which a weight-imparting material such as water or sand may be placed in order to provide the desired weight - and therefore stability - to said base 12.
  • the base 12 may be made of a plastic material such as hard rubber and/or vinyl (and especially those hard rubbers made from recycled automobile tires).
  • Such a base 12 may, for example, have the truncated cone configuration depicted in Figure 1 . It could also have a square, rectangular, ellipsoidal, etc. configuration.
  • the top 16 of the base 12 has a cylindrical cavity 18 for receiving a post 20 (see Figure 7 ) so that the base 12 holds said post 20 in a vertical orientation.
  • the post 20, in turn, has a center hole 22 for receiving and rotatably mounting an axle 24.
  • the axle 24 may be rotatable by virtue of being mounted in a top roller bearing and bottom roller bearing in the manner depicted in Figure 7 .
  • top of the axle 24 is affixed to a socket device 26.
  • This socket device 26 has a housing 28 that rotatably mounts a ball component 30.
  • the resulting ball and socket device 30/26 is akin to a synovial joint, such as a human hip joint, wherein a spherical knob of a bone fits into a cavity or socket of another bone so that some degree of rotary motion is possible around an indefinite number of axes having one common center.
  • a synovial joint such as a human hip joint
  • Many analogues to such synovial joints are found throughout the mechanical arts (e.g., control arms, steering knuckles, throttle linkages, etc.).
  • the ball and socket joint 30/26 used by Applicant is also commonly referred to as a rod end bearing.
  • the opposite end of the arm 32 whose inner end is mounted to the ball component 30 of the ball and socket joint 30/26 is attached to a ball 34 to be kicked by the user of the apparatus 10.
  • This ball 34 is held above ground level by certain mechanical actions of the ball and socket device 30/26 hereinafter more fully explained.
  • the arm 32 whose motion is limited by the ball's range of motion as hereinafter more fully described in the respective discussions of Figures 2 , 3 and 4 .
  • the socket 26 of the ball and socket device 30/26 is rigidly affixed to the axle 24 (which is free to rotate in the center hole 22 of the post 20)
  • the kicking ball 34 is free to rotate a full 360° around the axle 24 in the post 20 as suggested by the two headed arrow 35 depicting the kicking ball's travel radius.
  • the length 36 of the arm 32 defines the radius of the 360° circle about which the kicking ball 34 may travel.
  • the other end of the ball component 30 of the ball and socket joint 30/26 may also be attached to a counterweight-imparting portion 37 of the arm 32.
  • the counterweight-imparting portion 37 of the arm 32 can be bent as shown in Figure 1 or be straight.
  • the other end of the counterweight arm 37 can also be attached to a second ball 38 (such as the one depicted in phantom lines in Figure 2 ).
  • the kicking ball's outer surface 34A is made of a compliant material (e.g., leather, vinyl plastic, a polymeric foam and the like).
  • the ball 34 itself may be filled with air or it may be a solid.
  • a solid ball's inner regions are filled with a resilient material such as a polyurethane foam material. Indeed, the entire ball can be made of such a material.
  • the ball 34 also may have a radius (e.g., about 7,6 cm to 10,1 cm (3 to 4 inches)) that is the same as (or smaller or larger) than the radius of a regulation sized 3, 4 or 5 soccer ball.
  • Such relatively smaller, solid foam balls are particularly well suited for use by younger children (e.g., ages 4-10).
  • FIG 2 is a side view of the apparatus 10 shown in Figure 1 .
  • This view shows the ball 34 attached to an outer end of the arm 32 and having a vertical arc range of motion ⁇ .
  • This vertical arc range of motion ⁇ is defined by the fact that the bottom surface 40 of a forward nut 48 (see Figure 4 ) will collide with the bottom surface 42 of the socket opening 44 when the ball 34 is at its lowest position on the arc ⁇ . That is to say that the bottom surface 40 of the forward nut 48, that is attached to a forward threaded end 50 of the inner end of the arm 32, will collide with the bottom surface 42 of the socket opening 44 and thereby define the lower limit of the angle ⁇ .
  • FIG 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the socket 26 of the ball and socket device 30/26.
  • the ball component 30 of said ball and socket device 30/26 is not shown in Figure 3 .
  • the socket 26 has an opening 44 in which the ball component 30 is rotatably mounted in ball and socket joint fashion.
  • the bottom surface 42 of the socket opening 44 and the top surface 54 of said opening 44 will collide with the arm 32 in the first embodiment of this invention wherein the arm passes through the opening 30A in the ball component 30 of the ball and socket joint 30/26.
  • the bottom surface 42 of the socket opening 44 and the top surface 54 of the opening 44 will collide with the forward nut 48 in a manner that will be further discussed with respect to Figure 4 .
  • FIG 4 is a side view of the ball and socket device 30/26 being used according to the second embodiment of this invention (which employs a forward threaded nut 48 and a rearward threaded nut 70) and having reached its lowest position with respect to its arc range of motion ⁇ . That is to say that ball 30 of the ball and socket device 30/26 has rotated in a clockwise direction 64 in socket 26 to such an extent that the bottom surface 40 of the forward threaded nut 48, which is threadedly attached to a threaded portion 50 of the arm 32 (see Figures 5 and 6 ), collides with the bottom surface 42 of the rim 44A of the opening 44 in the socket 26. If arm 32 were rotated to the top of the arc ⁇ , the upper surface 52 of the forward threaded nut 48 would collide with the upper edge 54 of the opening 44 in the socket 26.
  • FIG 5 is an exploded view of various components of the apparatus 10 shown in Figures 1 and 2 of this patent disclosure. Again, this is the second embodiment of this invention wherein a forward threaded nut 48 and a rearward threaded nut 70 are used to affix the arm 32 to the ball and socket device 30/26.
  • the arm 32 is shown provided with a forward end 50 that is threaded.
  • This forward threaded end 50 has a front end 50A and a rear end 50B.
  • the forward threaded nut 48 has a threaded hole 66 for mounting said nut 48 on the front end 50A of the arm 32.
  • the rear end 50B of the threaded end 50 is then passed through a hole 30A in the ball 30 of the ball and socket device 30/26.
  • the threaded rear end 50B of the forward threaded end 50 extends beyond the ball 30 and socket 26 far enough that the threaded rear end 50B can threadedly engaged with a threaded hole 68 of an extended rearward threaded nut 70.
  • the arm 32 can be affixed to the ball portion 30 of the ball and socket 30/26 device by threading the rearward extended threaded nut 70 inwardly to compress the respective sides of the ball component 30 between the forward threaded nut 48 and the rearward extended threaded nut 70.
  • the arm 32 is affixed to the ball component 30 while said ball component is free to rotate in the socket opening 44 up to an extent that the outside surface of the forward nut 48 will impact upon the circumference 44A of the socket opening 44 as indicated in Figures 3 and 4 .
  • a threaded end 72 of the counterweight arm 37 can be threadedly engaged with the opposite end of the threaded hole 68 in the rearward threaded nut 70.
